What are Tools?

In Knoon, tools are special functions or external capabilities that an AI Agent can invoke during a conversation to extend its abilities beyond simply responding to an inquiry. For example, an AI Agent can use a tool to search and retrieve a user’s invoice from your database, or file a bug in another service when a user reports an issue.

Knoon uses the "OpenAPI" schema to describe and configure tools, ensuring they are standardized and machine-readable.
